    Welcome aboard Lionheart! This is a great group. You'll like it here. Formerly from the peach state myself. In fact I'll be down that way in a couple weeks to visit family.

    Current Production Winchester Mod 70 Safari Express

    Not sure of all, but the rear sights are mounted differently, the front sling swivel is barrel mounted on the SE (keeping it further away during recoil I've read) and the SE is about a half-pound heavier.

    Current Production Winchester Mod 70 Safari Express

    Lever action on TAA

    Love those lever guns! A 99 in .300 Savage has been on my wish list for a long time, but then so are a LOT of others. :giggle: It looks like a Turnbull to me as well. Is this the episode, 375er? https://www.turnbullrestoration.com/475-turnbull-in-namibia/

    Hello from North Idaho

    Hello Everyone, As the moniker implies, my name is Joe and I'm from Idaho. I went on my first African hunt, a bowhunt, a couple of years ago and can't wait to go back.
